Doesn't it take, like, several months to hike the Appalachian Trail?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

That early version of the cover story seemed a bit of a head scratcher to me, for that reason.

Just sayin'!

1. Especially if you do it through Argentina

That's quite the detour.

2. People "day hike" it all the time. Of course, it doesn't run through Buenos Aires. NT

3. I see a new euphemism. "I'm going to go hike the Appalachian Trail" (wink wink)

[NYC_SKP]

4. But you don't spend months there...

not without a break, anyway! :P

8. Hey speak for yourself

5. The AT is a great place for hikes of indeterminate length

Less crowded than national and state parks. Just pick a segment and hike as far as you want.

You should try it some day.

6. yes but only four days to go spear-fishing in the Argentine bush

why - planning a vacation?

10. .....spear-fishing in the Argentine bush....

11. whew. i thought that joke thudded to the ground unappreciated

Glad you enjoyed it

14. It was a scream!!!

I am listening to IMUS on the computer right now, and the toady sidekick, Charles, is reading the Governor's romantic emails in a lusty, porn-ish voice. I'm laughing myself silly! I suppose I shouldn't take such amusement at the discomfiture of an asshole who abandons his wife and kids -- and does it on Father's Day, no less-- but I just cannot help it.

This idiot thought he was Presidential timber? That's the funniest part of the piece!

7. My theory is he told someone

and they either weren't listening carefully or he mumbled, but that when asked it came out as:

"He said he was going... oh shoot, what did he say? It was a long name, and it started witn an "A"... "

"Appalachia?"

"Um... yeah, yeah, I think so..."

9. Not with God on your side.

12. Most people do it in sections

Thru hikers take 2 to 3 months.

[arcadian]

13. Like everything else people try to out do each other on the AT

Average is about 6 months, I think speed hikers have done it in 2.
